Capacitor aging apparatus and capacitor aging method

A capacitor aging apparatus comprising:

• a plurality of continuity check pads configured to be electrically connected to positive electrodes of a plurality of capacitors in a one-to-one correspondence to check electrical continuity with the plurality of capacitors, respectively;
• a plurality of first terminals electrically connected to the plurality of continuity check pads in a one-to-one correspondence;
• a plurality of second terminals electrically connected to the plurality of first terminals in a one-to-one correspondence;
• and
• a plurality of connectors configured to be electrically connected to and disconnected from the plurality of first terminals and the plurality of second terminals, and configured to electrically connect the positive electrodes of the plurality of capacitors,
• wherein the plurality of connectors are each configured to allow a second terminal corresponding to a first capacitor of a corresponding pair of capacitors among the plurality of capacitors to be electrically connected to a first terminal corresponding to a second capacitor of the pair of capacitors, and
• wherein when the plurality of capacitors are subjected to aging, in a state where in order to connect the plurality of connectors in series, each of the plurality of connectors is electrically connected to the second terminal corresponding to the first capacitor and the first terminal corresponding to the second capacitor of respective pairs of capacitors, and where the positive electrodes of the plurality of capacitors are electrically connected to the plurality of continuity check pads, a continuity check pad, among the plurality of continuity check pads, located on a first end side of the plurality of connectors connected in series is applied with a voltage, such that the voltage is applied to all of the plurality of capacitors via the plurality of connectors.
